- We have a total of 12 plants 6 master kush 6 bubble gum kush

- Clones

- They have been vedging for 8 weeks now and still some of them are still not up to 1ft tall (which I was told was the hight to go to flowering stage)

- Those plants are really starting to stink where it wasn't such a problem before. We are putting a air purifyer in to help with that.

- They are pre flowering.

- Just how long is too long in the vedging stage?



A couple of sidenotes I do not know if they affect the situation. We found out that we might have been using too much nutrients (we are growing them in soil) and we have had issues with the heat being too high in the growroom (attempting to fix that)

To answer one of your questions, you can never veg too long, the plant might mature start to show preflowers, but if you keep it in veg then it will keep growing up and up and never flower.

you can't over veg but you can be providing not enough light and they will grow slower:peace:

They are definitely small for itheir age but goddamn is it bushy. It seems that they are mature if they are preflowering. So flower them now, unless you wanna wait and see if they get bigger.

get more light if your going to flower them because this is the stag when they will need the most usable light they can get:peace:

they have 800 MHL running on them right now.....they will have a lot the other type of light on them when we go to flower....

The thing is.....we live in Southern CA and even though we have several fans going in the grow room (closet space) the heat and humidity have been running way to high in there lately. There is intake and exhuast ventilation and we just added a third whole along with running a fan on the lights themselves....be we are wondering if this is why they are so short.

They are clones....I dont know if that has to do with anything. The thing is I thought that the total grow cycles were supposed to run 4 months (3 grows a year indoors) and this will make week 8 of the vedging stage.

Do they look bushy enough that they might produce a decent yield?

What is the actual temp in your room? If its too hot you need try chilling out more. I have an just for the plants, but if you cant do it try ice. Fill every plastic bottle you have with water and freeze them. Then take the ice bottles out and place by fans. Instant AC!!!

OK...looks like the day we are going from vedge to flower is this upcoming Tuesday.

The plants are short but bushy. Hopefully we will get a decent yield.

Does anyone have any special tips on maximizing their grow and yield starting flowering stage?

Are those pictures really of "tomato plants"? I meant no offense but those pix don't look like Mary Jane to me. Nor do they look like tomatoe plants. Good luck with your grow.:peace:

If you can't keep your temperatures under control - your ventilation system and specifically your vent fan isn't powerful enough - the answer is a simple one - get a bigger fan.

The fact they're clones has a big impact - you should have put them into flowering already! The 12 inch height is really meant for plants grown from seed, for clones flower them at anything from about 2 weeks veg onwards depending on size. Some people flower clones as soon as they've rooted.
